Eddie Turnbull by Eddie Turnbull
Hibs hero Eddie Turnbull was the first British player to score a goal in European club competition in 1955. This book charts his career and tells the story of his eventful life so far. It reveals how he had to wait until he was eighty-two to be awarded his first international 'cap'.
"Compelling and thoroughly entertaining" Edinburgh Evening News "Hannan is a writer of such skill that, although the bulk of Turnbull's footballing life took place in a remote era, much of the material is appetising and relevant" -- Patrick Barclay Sundy Telegraph
